+The **`layer()`** [CSS](/en-US/docs/Web/CSS) [function](/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Functions) is used along with the [`@import`](/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@import) [at-rule](/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/At-rule) to put the imported resource in a separate named [cascade layer](/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@layer).
+
+## Syntax
+
+```css
+@import url layer(layer-name);
+@import "dark.css" layer(framework.themes.dark);
+```
+
+The `framework.themes.dark` is the layer into which the CSS file would be imported.
+
+## Formal syntax
+
+```plain
+layer() = layer( <layer-name> )
+
+<layer-name> =
+  <ident> [ '.' <ident> ]*
+```
